NOTICE OF GUNNISON COUNTY, BLM, AND USFS 2024 SPRING SEASONAL ROAD CLOSURES

Gunnison County, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) have temporarily closed several roads to all motor vehicles to protect Gunnison Sage-Grouse during their mating season and to prevent road damage during wet spring conditions.

These roads are closed by March 15 and will reopen on May 15, 2024. Roads may be closed earlier than March 15 if they are excessively muddy. The cooperation of the public is required to successfully implement these road closures, which help support conservation efforts for Gunnison Sage-Grouse.

The U.S. Forest Service closures in the Flat Top Mountain area north of Gunnison extends through June 15 to protect nesting Gunnison Sage-Grouse. These include Henkel Road and Smokey Bear access roads. BLM roads across the basin are subject to the motorized closures except for Hartman Rocks north of the Powerline Road. Roads and trails in the north end of Hartman Rocks are subject to closure based on winter

and mud conditions but those will open when roads and trails dry out. Signal Peak roads and trails on BLM lands remain closed to motorized use from January 1 to May 15 to protect wintering wildlife. Mechanized use on Signal Peak is allowed east of the Signal Peak Road beginning May 1 after 10 am. There is a human use closure on Signal Peak from March 15 to May 15; affected trails include The Ridge, Rasta Gulch, and Chicken Wing.

SUDOKU

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
